Kills me when people say things like this (not going at your directly, this is said in a much more serious tone by A LOT of people who think Duke is aperennial choker)... search PASE in one of the basketball threads from this year, Duke performs better than any other team against their seed expectationssince the tourney expanded to 64 teams... FAR better, so far better that the last two years will only start to bring them back to the field.
Besides - anyone who had them going further than one more round is crazy anyhow. We all knew they relied on perimeter play a bit too much.. they werebasically butler this year with better defense.

By the way - if Purdue, MSU, and Wiskey all make the sweet 16's, i want apologies from everybody who badmouthed the big 10 this year. They'redefinitely showing they were as tough as any conference at the top this year, at least so far.

By the way - i'll eat some crow myself, i had West Virginia as a team with no shot in this tourney... no business even being here... They've proved mewrong. I still think they're pretty garbage and have benefitted from two of the worst tourney performances of any two opponents thus far, but meh, awin's a win i suppose. They'll get rocked eventually.

Exactly. I however had Arizona beating Duke but I knew who ever won that first game would have a great chance against them. Shouldn't have beatagainst West Virgina.

What's your argument here?

So 5 of their last 7 years have been under expecations for their seed... I'm not arguing that they haven't had a bad little run here recently, buteven with that bad run, they've still been more consistent than any other program in the country... every team flops in the tourney on a regular basis,that's why it's march madness. I don't think Duke missed a sweet 16 in like 20 years prior to last year... and people want to say they're"doing what they always do'?
The hate is just strong with you people... completely unreasonable when talking about programs like Duke.

Damn. And now I'm gone for the rest of the night and won't be watching the games. Gonna stay updated via the sidekick but

at all that home advantage they've gotten...
and Craftsy, i don't think anyone said Duke sucks historically. but when you're big bad Duke and you have a #1 or #2 seed, you're not supposed tolose that early. you cant blame anyone for calling them overrated the past couple years.
we're talking about right now, i dont think anyone is insulting their all-time program/record.
